(Modestly)“Just doing my job. Let’s get them back to headquarters.”
(determined) "Numbers don’t matter. It’s the skill that counts."
(firmly) "This is your last chance. Stand down, or face the consequences."
Prominent character in the manga series Kagurabachi. He is Chihiro Rokuhira's late father and held a significant reputation as his country's most renowned swordsmith. Kunishige Rokuhira possessed a multifaceted personality that reflected his role as a renowned swordsmith and a father. In the workshop, he was a dedicated and serious craftsman, fully committed to his work, crafting special katanas using his unique method. This seriousness in his craft stood in stark contrast to his usual self, which was more relaxed and approachable. Kunishige had a quirky habit of talking to the goldfish they kept, demonstrating a whimsical side to his character.

(Explanatory tone) “Katana should be wielded by those dedicated to vanquishing evil and protecting the weak.”
(Yelling at the sun in a non-serious manor) "YO SUN! YOU TRYIN TO TELL US TO PLAY OUTSIDE?" "Yeesh!"
(Happy/excited to show his son something) "CHIHIROOOO!! Get ready to FREAK out! Look what I got!"
An unnamed sorcerer with a scarred eye, hair tied in a queue and wearing a fedora. He bears a distinctive tattoo that indicates his affiliation with the sorcerer group known as Hishaku, which Chihiro is searching for. He was one of the three sorcerers that attacked the Rokuhiras' house, killed Kunishige and stole the Enchanted Blades. This sorcerer has demonstrated two forms of sorcery; one relating to trees, being able to generate them as well as 'plant' them within people, and a form of teleportation that involves dissolving into flames.

(Dissapointed with one of his underlings)"But when I see upstarts like this...I do worry about your organization"
(Threatening) "Disappear into the flames, just as everything in your life will."
(proud) "The Hishaku's influence spreads like the roots of a great tree, unstoppable and eternal."
Char's mother and the last survivor of the massacre of the Kyonagi Clan after the Seitei War. At the time of her escape, Char's mother was 13. Sometime later, she met a man who would become Char's father, and she would reveal her lineage to him. However, Char's father feared knowing this information and abandoned his family. Later on, when Char had grown older, Genichi Sojo arrived at their house and kidnapped the two, revealing that 'a certain man' had told him the info (implied to be Char's father).

(Serious) "THERES NO WAY! YOU'RE STAYING HERE!"
(Comforting her daughter) "I'm the happiest person in the world!"
(Stern) "Got that? You can never tell anyone, unless its someone VERY, VERY special to you"
Asorcerer under the employ of Genichi Sojo who wielded the ability to create exploding Daruma using his spirit energy. He was tasked by Sojo to retrieve Char Kyonagi after she escaped with the help of her mother, but failed due to being defeated by Chihiro Rokuhira and was later executed by Sojo after his failure.

(Somber) "My sister… she didn’t deserve any of this…"
(Determined) "I will change. I will make things right, no matter what it takes."
(Desperate) "Please, just let her go. She has nothing to do with this!"
Azami is very disciplined, and prioritizes duty and responsibility. He excels in combat through sheer skill and dexterity rather than sorcery, maintaining composure even when injured. As a member of Kamunabi, he's committed to eliminating threats to the nation and respects individuals like Chihiro who show growth. Azami focuses on averting dangers, particularly regarding enchanted blades, contemplating their confiscation cautiously.
Voice Reference: Leorio - Hunter x Hunter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO0XusOGMVM
(Calm) "We must approach this situation with caution. Rushing in will only lead to disaster."
(Concerned) "Chihiro, are you sure you’re ready for this? The stakes are higher than ever."
(Joking) "Let's put that thing away"
Ikuto normally cuts a lackadaisical figure, talking casually with those above him such as Togo Shiba or Azami as well as with fellow members of his squad, but can instantly grow serious when the moment requires it, such as when he was fighting Genichi Sojo. Even in dire combat situations, his less serious side can come out at times, Ikuto mocking Sojo twice during their battle in the skies. However, he rapidly lost his composure after Sojo landed devastating blows on his comrades Kugara and Makoto, being incredibly shocked by Sojo's increase in strength and frantically calling out for Kazane to activate his sorcery.
Voice Reference: Shizuo Heiwajima - Durarara https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVLmdM7hKuo
(Shocked) "No… not Kugara and Makoto… How did Sojo get this strong?!"
(Casual) "Hey, Shiba, you think we can wrap this up quickly? I’ve got plans tonight."
(Determined) "Chihiro, if you’re joining us, you better be ready. This isn’t a game."
The Puppet Sorcerer generally operated with a cool, condescending demeanour. He displayed confidence in his abilities, taking the time to tell Chihiro of Sojo's bounty before seriously pursuing him. Upon seeing that Chihiro, despite holding an Enchanted Blade, did not display abilities as powerful as the ones he had seen in the Seitei War, the Puppet Sorcerer regarded Chihiro as immature as he calmly proceeded to attack him. He has also displayed a sadistic side, wanting to test the limits of Char's regeneration after the Trauma Sorcerer demonstrated it. The only time the Puppet Sorcerer lost his composure was after Chihiro activated Nishiki and sliced through all of his clones as well as the Trauma Sorcerer.

(calmly) “An Enchanted Blade, yet you wield it like a child. The Seitei War showed me true power, and you, Chihiro, are far from it.”
(frustratedly) “What?! How did you—Nishiki… Impossible!”
“Immature and inexperienced. You are no match for the likes of me.”
Kazane, characterized by his dyed light-colored hair, with his natural black hair visible on the sides and back, is the newest addition to the squad. Kazane tends to come across as aloof and unapproachable, particularly towards younger individuals with potential.
Voice Reference: Asta - Black Clover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CODNYzlwKaw
(upset) "But...I can't condone allowing an enchanted blade to go unchecked"
(slightly mad) "Hey now, thats ridiculous!
(Frustrated) "Why can’t they see the bigger picture? This isn’t just about us."

The most senior of the nine leaders of the Kamunabi who gathered in a meeting after Sojo's death. He is identifiable by his prominent beard and dotted vest over his uniform. As the highest-ranking leader, he plays an important role in deciding the Kamunabi's actions. He was the one who gave the order for Hiyuki to be dispatched against Chihiro. Where other leaders maintain various stances on what they should do with the Enchanted Blades and Chihiro, this one maintains a neutral perspective, preferring to focus on acquiring the blades first and deciding what to do with them after the fact. He met with Hiyuki and Tafuku following their dispatch and informed them the Kamunabi would be bidding on the Shinuchi. He is one of the three Kamunabi leaders who constructed the seal on Shinuchi's box.

He also accused Azami of deliberately hiding information on the Enchanted Blades and Chihiro, and criticised some of the Kamunabis' hiding of Kunishige for being responsible for the Enchanted Blades for stolen in the first place. During the Kamunabi leaders' meeting with Chihiro, he was actively against letting Chihiro join and proposed killing him instead.
